Find a Polio vaccination site near you

Children aged 1 to 9 years old in London are being offered a dose of polio vaccine in Lambeth. For some children this may be an extra dose on top of their routine vaccinations. In other children it may bring them up to date with their routine vaccinations.

If your child is registered with a GP, you will be contacted by the NHS to book an appointment locally. This may be at your GP surgery or at another local NHS vaccination centre. You can also make an appointment to attend some of the large-scale vaccination centres and pharmacies across south east London. Details of where they are and how to book are below.

You can also find more information about other sites available across London at NHS.UK

Evaluation of the Caring with Carers Course adapted for community setting

We evaluated the adaptation of an existing hospital-based initiative designed by the Guy's and St Thomas' Trust, to help carers of elderly family members with dementia prepare for their return home after a stay in hospital.
The aim was to test whether a course delivered in a community setting could help other family carers better support the person they care for and maintain their own wellbeing, and reduce need for unplanned GP visits.
